TRACK4TIP is a five-year initiative (2019-2024) implemented by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), with support from the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (J/TIP) of the U.S. Department of State.
The project benefits eight countries in South America and the Caribbean with national and regional actions in Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, Panama and Aruba.
The overall objective of Track4TiP is to improve the regional criminal justice response to trafficking in persons (TiP) in the migratory flows of the beneficiary countries through a multidisciplinary and victim-centered approach, with actions at the regional and national levels to identify, prevent, and prosecute cases.
Track4TiP proposes the implementation of seven main activities organized under three specific objectives that collectively facilitate the achievement of the project's primary goal by each of the eight beneficiary countries: to strengthen the criminal justice response in cases of trafficking in persons (TiP) involving Venezuelan victims in migratory flows in the region.
In Brazil, Track4TiP is implemented in partnership with various institutions: the Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP), the Federal Prosecutor's Office (MPF), the Federal Public Defender's Office (DPU), the Labor Prosecutor's Office (MPT), the Federal Police (PF), and the Division of Inspection for the Eradication of Forced Labour (DETRAE).
The project also produced a series of reports, studies, and guides on the subject of trafficking in persons:
